Day 11/12

LEAGUE: Round 9. FC MANCHESTER (83.7) v LONDON CITY (85.7)

Result: MANCHESTER 1-0 LONDON
Goals: Balbuena 34
M.o.M: Luis Valente (Manchester)

We were disappointed to lose in our first ever match against the team that were our first ever "friend" in the game, 13 seasons ago. We made the short trip to the north of England for this local derby. Pablo Balbuena scored the only goal just after the half hour mark. We plugged away, but just couldn't find an equaliser. Tomorrow we play against our deadly foes, Pto Alcudia. Despite the difference between us in the league, we are nervous over the game.

CITY: Miklosko, Jones, Fiksdal, Whyte, Watts, Andersson, Santos, Duggan (Hori), Daniels, Wilkinson, Dixon.



LEAGUE: Round 10. LONDON CITY (85.7) v PTO ALCUDIA (82.6)

Result: LONDON 3-0 ALCUDIA
Goals: Dixon 57, Andersson 58, Daniels 85
M.o.M: Jonathan Watts

At the break in this match, it looked as though our bogie team was once again about to deny us a win, for the sixth time in a row against them. But we suddenly broke free of the shackles and a three goal blast in the second half, finally gave us a comfortable victory (at last). Two goals in a minute, ten minutes after the restart, got us on our way. The first was a tap in for Wayne Dixon after a through ball from Jacob Wilkinson. Within seconds, substitute Homer Simpson had supplied the cross for Stig Andersson to volley home. The sense of relief was obvious, and the team played some great attacking football for the rest of the match. Five minutes from time, Jack Daniels made himself some space, to rifle home our third, to compound the victory and improve our low goal difference.

Tomorrow we travel to Lithuania to play bottom team, Luigi FC.

CITY: Miklosko, Jones, Fiksdal, Whyte, Watts, Andersson, Santos, Duggan (Simpson), Daniels, Wilkinson, Dixon.
